The end-of-year holidays have almost arrived, but what if your vacation to Estes Park is scheduled to take place before all the fuss and fanfare? It just means you will get to experience an authentic Colorado getaway, exploring all the things that make our town special while resting and relaxing in comfort and style in our Voyago Vacation Rentals hideaways! This guide to four ways to explore Estes Park before the holidays will give you a head start on anticipating the best vacation you have enjoyed in so many years.

1. Take a Ride on the Wildside with Wildside 4X4 Tours, 212 E Elkhorn Avenue

Your inner daredevil is begging to be released, and as you explore the stunning beauty of our Estes Park countryside from the seat of one of their colorful 4X4s, you will get an up close and personal view of everything you dreamed your Colorado vacation would contain. They offer a large number of tours year round, including National Park Tours that explore wildlife, waterfalls, lakes, and snow, and 4X4 offroad tours that will take you to the most beautiful places in town.

2. Gallop in the Country with National Park Gateway Stables, 4600 Fall River Road

Although the wild west chaos skipped over our town, Estes Park was more about ranching and homesteading than gunfights, saloons, and bawdy houses, we do let out our old west flair with horseback tours offered by National Park Gateway Stables. Offering tours that will give you views of snow capped mountains and/or the Continental Divide, they also offer pony rides for vacationers traveling with young kids.

3. Exploring the Waters of Estes Park with Pole in Hand with Kirks Flyshop, 230 E Elkhorn Avenue

Fly fishing is popular in our town, no matter what time of year and because not everyone is as familiar with the sport of fly fishing as we are, we like to recommend Kirks Flyshop and the guided fishing trips they offer. Choose your excursion, they offer two-hour, four-hour, six-hour, and eight-hour guided trips where you can enjoy snacks, lunches, and catching your limit. Everything except fishing licenses and tips are included in their prices.

4. Sipping and Savoring at the Snowy Peaks Winery, 292 Moraine Avenue

All your explorations are making you thirsty and ready to relax a little and the best place we know to do both is at the Snowy Peaks Winery! Offering a taste of Colorado you are sure to become addicted to, the wines are all created right here in our state and we think they could give Napa Valley a run for the money. We sincerely hope you test our theory with a visit to the winery sample all their flavors as well as enjoying their menu of gourmet foods all prepared by Colorado artisans. Offering a selection of cheeses, meats, preserves, and nuts, they also feature charcuterie boards that will complement each sip you take. Personally, their Colorado Wild Game Sausage Board is our favorite but you may prefer their pizza for two or just a giant soft Bavarian Pretzel served with beer cheese and stone ground mustard.
